It would seem to me that the balance between total anonymity on a peer network and the ability to get your node learned without some sort of tracking ability by companies and agencies looking to shutdown these networks would be a very difficult task to overcome. Maybe not impossible, but understanding the design of encryption, algorithms and such used to build and design routes to do it anonymously is a bit beyond my scope of knowledge here. I'm sure there are a number of legal issues to deal with involving encryption. In laymens terms, it would seem to me that if there is some way that IP addresses can be encrypted so that they are not detected by monitoring devices, and or the peers they connect to when accomplishing a search for a particular file.
